No matter which direction you look at it, during this trip to Xilin, Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang took the word politeness to the extreme.
Judging from their status, no matter which university they go to, they will probably be filled with loud gongs and drums and blasting firecrackers. The principal did not personally pick up the students at the airport and did not put up a few banners, which is a sign of disrespect for the Chinese academic community.
If you want to see someone, you just need to tell them in advance. You can always meet them at the welcome meeting specially prepared for the two representatives of the Academy of Sciences Presidium.
But this time, they sent letters repeatedly asking them to keep a low profile and keep everything simple, so Xilin University of Technology had no choice but to keep a low profile.
The principal, Lao Xu, and two staff members quietly drove two cars to take the person back to school.
Everyone knew that it was two academicians who came to meet with Qiao Ze to discuss matters.
But no one bothered Qiao Ze who was bored in the research institute first.
Zhang Mingrui even said in the car that just eat whatever you want for lunch, don't hold a banquet, and don't call him Qiao Ze, so as not to affect the children.
I have to say that Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang did their homework carefully during this trip to Xilin.
I found many people who had contact with Qiao Ze to understand his temperament.
I also received a lot of suggestions.
For example, it's best not to let Qiao Ze attend the lively dinner party where the guests are being dropped off. If you force him to do so, it will only lower his favorability. When contacting Qiao Ze, it's best to talk directly about something and don't be too irritating...
Zhang Hongcai from Yanbei also gave the two of them an idea.
"Actually, none of us, including the two academicians from the Xilin Institute of Optical Research, know Qiao Ze very well. Even Li Jiangao, Xu Dajiang and Qiao Ze's mother don't know Qiao Ze very well. The one who really gets along with Qiao Ze day and night is his little girlfriend.
So if you have a chance, when you arrive in Xilin, you can first talk to that Xiao Su about how to best communicate with Qiao Ze. Professor Xu told me that Xiao Su and Qiao Ze stayed together almost every day. He is also the only person who appears in front of Qiao Ze every day, and Qiao Ze does not dislike him.
Professor Xu's original words were that Xiao Su got along well with everyone in the institute, just like a lubricant. "
So on the way from the high-speed rail station to Xilin, the only request Zhang Mingrui made was in a consultative tone: "If possible, can you invite Su Mucheng to have a light meal with her at noon?"
I'm not afraid that Qiao Ze will know what they talked about. Doesn't this reflect the importance that the Academy of Sciences attaches to Qiao Ze?
Of course, if Qiao Ze is willing to come, that’s fine. If he doesn’t want to come, there’s no need to force him.
…
"Hey, Brother Qiao, Dean Xu asked me if I had time to have a casual meal with a bunch of old men at noon. He also asked me to ask you if you want to go. You don't have to force me. It's too strange. I shouldn't be inviting you. Will you take me with you when you go?"
Looking at the message sent on WeChat, Su Mucheng was confused.
Recently, the school's operations have become more and more psychedelic, making it hard for her to understand.
"Oh, go ahead then."
"Aren't you going?"
"Don't like that atmosphere."
"Don't you always say that everyone has to eat? Let's do it together."
Qiao Ze shook his head and said: "It's different. It's fine if they just eat, but they like to talk while eating. In this kind of situation, there is often more redundant information than effective information, which seriously affects efficiency. You can't let everyone eat. Keep your mouth shut all the time, that's rude."
"Um?" Su Mucheng imagined that there were more than ten people sitting at a table, and then everyone said nothing, silently picking up food, drinking and eating. It felt very strange, and it felt like a déjà vu in a horror movie, so she Said: "Then I won't go either."
Qiao Ze thought for a while and said, "It's better to go. Dean Xu specially invited you. It would be rude not to go."
"Uh?" Although she felt a little uncomfortable hearing politeness from Qiao Ze twice in a row, Su Mucheng still decided to listen to Qiao Ze's words.
For no other reason, Su Mucheng simply thought that since she had a lower IQ than Qiao Ze, it was probably right for a person with a low IQ to listen to someone with a high IQ in this matter.
…
Lunch is arranged in a small private room in the school staff cafeteria.
It was already the most low-key arrangement. Three senior leaders of the school came, Xu Dajiang accompanied them, Li Jiangao declined the invitation, and together with the two academicians and Su Mucheng, there were only seven people. It can be said that Xiao Su single-handedly lowered the average age at this dinner by seven or eight years.
We have to talk about things in the afternoon, and as usual there is no wine at noon.
In order to take care of the only little girl, fresh juice was specially prepared.
Su Mucheng's mouth was also very sweet, and her series of greetings as soon as she entered the door made people feel like spring breeze.
Really, sometimes Xu Dajiang felt that if Qiao Ze's temperament could move closer to Su Mucheng, even just a little bit, it would be a very happy thing for everyone.
Pity……
Even without Qiao Ze, the atmosphere of the luncheon was also excellent.
Starting from the collective care of the next generation, two mathematics academicians who came to Xilin cordially cared about Xiao Su's college life, including but not limited to test scores, extracurricular activities, and whether there were any difficulties. After that, the topic Finally started to favor Qiao Ze.
Really, Su Mucheng didn't expect that the two bosses would ask her to eat, but they would directly ask her how to talk to Qiao Ze and what she should pay attention to...
Even classmate Xiao Su, who is an out-and-out Qiao Chui, feels that this is a bit too much and would not show kindness like this.
If she mentions this matter to Qiao Ze when she goes back, then Brother Qiao's favorability towards these two people will probably increase by an order of magnitude, right?
It can only be said that these big shots are really cunning once they let go of their stature.
Su Mucheng thought so in her heart, but she kept opening her small mouth.
After all, she was really good at consulting the two academicians, and there was nothing she couldn't say.
But in her mind, Su Mucheng was already thinking about how to show off her arrogant old Su at her house.
Two members of the presidium of the Academy of Sciences, on behalf of the Chinese Department of Mathematics, greeted her and even took the initiative to add her WeChat account... Can you get such courtesy when hanging out with Lao Su?
"...That's probably it. In fact, Qiao Ze is very easy to deal with. His reluctance to talk is actually a misunderstanding of him from the outside world. He just doesn't like to talk nonsense. In Brother Qiao's words, the original intention of language is to communicate efficiently. , instead of wasting each other's time between opening and closing their mouths.
So when we really discuss serious matters with him, especially academic matters, Brother Qiao actually talks a lot. If you are chatting with him and suddenly find that Brother Qiao has stopped talking, then he must have said some stupid words that are completely meaningless. Too many words will lead to mistakes. "
After listening to Su Mucheng's concluding remarks, Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang looked at each other.
This girl may have some misunderstanding about how easy it is to deal with. The idiom "too much talk leads to misunderstanding" was used here, which also made the two of them feel excited.
However, Zhang Mingrui still said warmly: "Thank you, Xiao Su, you have helped us a lot. It seems that when we meet with Qiao Ze this afternoon, Lao Zhou and I will have to think carefully about how to talk, haha... "
The hearty laughter made everyone at the dinner raise their lips and laugh together.
When everyone was laughing the loudest, Su Mucheng suddenly rolled her eyes and thought of something: "By the way, there is one thing that you need to pay special attention to, that is, when asking Brother Qiao questions, it is best not to use a rising intonation. Brother Qiao is actually quite proud. Unless you can really be stronger than him and convince him, it's best not to act more proud than him.
There is a sister named Hannah in our research institute. She is actually quite nice, smart and talented. It's because when I first met Qiao Ze, I used a rising tone when asking him. Although I begged Brother Qiao to let her join the research institute, she has been sitting on the bench until now.
And last time, Brother Qiao originally wanted Professor Xu to take the lead in cooperating with some foreign academic institutions to deduce the relevant basic concepts and properties of superspiral algebra. As a result, because a few of the people invited didn't pay attention when talking, Brother Qiao simply gave up the idea. "
These words immediately silenced the table.
This is really something that even Xu Dajiang doesn't know about.
It turns out that after the report meeting that day, I was supposed to do this, but suddenly nothing happened. Is this because of this?
Is Qiao Ze so sensitive?
For a time, even Xu Dajiang began to review in his heart whether he had committed any taboo before. Then I felt a little lucky, as if there was none...
so far so good……
Otherwise, wouldn’t the favorability you finally gained with so much effort go down like crazy?
As for Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang at today's dinner, they immediately felt that it was right to call Su Mucheng out in advance to chat.
Such a detailed thing was really something they didn't expect. Probably only the girl in front of them knew about it, right?
"Thank you, Xiao Su. Really, if we can negotiate this matter with Qiao Ze this time, you have made a great contribution to the development of our Chinese mathematical theory! I must recommend that the Mathematical Society award you a The title of an honorary academician!”
When Zhou Liang said this seriously, everyone became serious.
Except Su Mucheng...
The only explanation that the little girl could come up with in her mind was that the old man probably hoped that she would go back to the research institute later and help him put in a good word in front of Qiao Ze, right?
Also, what the hell is an honorary academician? !
…
"Honorary academician?"
In the office of the institute, Qiao Ze was stunned by the title, and then asked casually: "Doudou, what is an honorary academician?"
The newly installed speakers instantly emitted Doudou’s unique children’s voice:
“Generally, it refers to an honorary title awarded by a university or a professional society to encourage outstanding scholars to participate in research in a certain field. It is only recognized by the issuing institution. The validity period is based on the needs of the relevant institution, and can be withdrawn at any time, and there is no quota limit.
Many times a generous donation to a research institution can lead to this honor. To put it simply, the biggest use is probably that it sounds good and can be used to scare laymen, without any practical significance. "
Su Mucheng blinked.
oh……
It turns out it was used to bluff people...
The little girl immediately became interested.
After all, Su Mucheng really couldn't afford to give her the title of academician. If she said it, she would be laughed at by insiders, but if it was just a title to scare people, it seemed quite fun.

And he is an honorary academician awarded by a serious organization like the Chinese Mathematical Society. It is great for fooling dad.
The most important thing is that there is no need to spend money, it is just a matter of having a meal and talking a few words.
"Brother Qiao, this honorary academician sounds quite interesting."
Qiao Ze glanced at Su Mucheng: "You want it?"
Su Mucheng nodded quickly.
"okay."
Qiao Ze agreed. Anyway, it was not contrary to his decision. It was just a reminder after talking about it in the afternoon. This kind of wholesale title is free of charge and used to win people's hearts. Even if the negotiation fails, the other party will probably not be stingy.
It doesn't matter if you are stingy. Since universities can also award awards, it would be the same to give one in the name of the School of Mathematics of Xilin University of Technology.
It's just a troublesome thing. In the future, the School of Mathematics of the University of Technology should have a slightly higher influence than the Mathematics Society.
It's difficult, but Qiao Ze doesn't think it's that big.
The academic community's recent thinking on new algebra gave him a general understanding of the understanding and acceptance capabilities of many big figures.
It also made Qiao Ze realize that age is the real trump card of high-end scholars.
There is nothing more tragic than this. After the age of twenty, brain function begins to enter a gradual and continuous process of degradation. Whether it is memory, logical thinking or abstract thinking ability, it begins to decline. Generally, by the age of forty-five, the decline will begin to accelerate rapidly.
The good news is that he still has nearly twenty-six years of prime time to think and find answers to the questions he wants to find answers to, and to start a new era.
This is also the reason why Qiao Ze has become increasingly disillusioned with communication.
The old people cannot keep up with his thinking speed, and the new generation of scholars have not yet fully grasped the knowledge structure they need to understand.
At least during this period he could only rely on himself.
This is why he did not resist systematizing superspiral algebra and transcendental geometry.
Learning is much faster than researching.
Maybe when he is thirty years old, there will be a younger generation of scholars who can follow his ideas and discuss and share their experiences?
…
On the other side, the two big guys were also discussing the negotiation strategies for meeting Qiao Ze later in the lounge arranged by the school.
"You still have to do what you want. Let's start with his recent achievements."
"Well, we have already made the quality gap hypothesis. It is worth a discussion."
"There is also the matter of transcendent geometry. Those foreign scholars believe that Qiao Ze wants to solve the grand unification problem."
"This involves theoretical physics, right? So Chen Bingquan and Fan Hongyi should be called."
"It's always right for us to listen first. We can also talk to them when we go back and see if we can give them some inspiration."
"Haha, that makes sense. It's almost time, right? Let's get ready. Dean Xu should be coming to pick us up later."
"Um."
…
Qiao Ze received the two academicians in the courtyard on the first floor of the Xilin Institute of Mathematics.
Although the temperature was a bit lower, the weather was fine, there was a breeze, and the sun was warm on my body, which was quite comfortable.
It was mainly requested by two academicians.
The yard is far more open than the dull interior.
The tea used to entertain the guests was prepared by Xu Dajiang and was said to be the inventory of Principal Chen.
However, for Qiao Ze, the taste of tea is actually the same. His sense of taste is not sensitive and he cannot taste complex flavors.
There were five people in this meeting. Two academicians were the guests of honor. Xu Dajiang was accompanying him and was responsible for cooking tea. Su Mucheng sat next to Qiao Ze at Zhang Mingrui's polite request.
It was obvious that the two academicians also listened to what Su Mucheng said. They did not exchange too many pleasantries at all and went straight to the point as soon as they sat down.
"Qiao Ze, I heard that you are almost finished proving the quality gap?"
"Um."
"Can you tell us two old men a little about your ideas?"
Qiao Ze answered very simply, and Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang were already shocked, making this exchange seem ordinary.
I briefly explained the idea. Of course, if you really want to understand it in depth, you should read the final paper.
When Qiao Ze finished speaking, Zhou Liang glanced at Zhang Mingrui and asked, "I'm really interested in this transcendental geometry. Some foreign scholars think that you hope to build a bridge to the grand unified theory through transcendental geometry. Is that true? "
Qiao Ze shook his head slightly and said, "Not enough."
"Not enough? Why?"
"The mathematical structures of super-spiral space and transcendent geometry still cannot explain that quantum effects cannot be reproduced in the macroscopic universe."
Originally, the two academicians just wanted to talk about super spiral space and transcendental geometry through Qiao Ze's recent research results, and then explain the purpose of this time in a seductive manner and talk about the difficulties in forming this research team.
But Qiao Ze's words made the two of them inexplicably interested.
After looking at each other, Zhang Mingrui asked seriously: "Is the macroscopic reproduction of quantum effects also related to proving the mass gap hypothesis?"
Qiao Ze shook his head and said: "Of course not. We still need to unify the strong force to complete the proof of the mass gap hypothesis. But if we want to complete a grand unified theory, it is necessary. I have not yet found a perfect mathematical structure. To confirm or disprove this, but we already have some ideas for the next stage of research.”
Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang were still thinking about the meaning of Qiao Ze's words, but Xu Dajiang next to him choked on his tea and couldn't help coughing.
"Ahem... I'm sorry... Ahem... I choked... I choked... I'm sorry... I'm sorry! Ahem, I'm sorry!"
Xu Dajiang's face turned red from suppressing his emotions. He quickly put down his tea cup and apologized non-stop.
Qiao Ze's words may not sound like much to others.
But Xu Dajiang was a little scared when he heard that he had some ideas.
Qiao Ze has a criminal record.
When the school first gave Qiao Ze a project, Xu Dajiang exaggerated the difficulty in front of the two principals. The school allocated 500,000 yuan and it was certified within two days. But that time, Qiao Ze didn't say he had any ideas yet.
For the second project, Qiao Ze said that he already had some ideas, and as soon as the college’s special research fund of 200,000 yuan was received, the paper was published in the "Annals of Mathematics".
This directly caused Xu Dajiang to have a stress reaction to Qiao Ze's idea.
Forget the quality gap assumption, this time it is a unified issue. Can it be slowed down a little and wait for the development of the college?
At least wait until the school builds the Xilin Mathematics Research Building and the planned International Academic Exchange Center.
In this way, the next time a thousand-person meeting is held, there is no need to find a place outside the school.
It is entirely possible to hold this kind of academic event on campus like Huaqing and Yanbei. It's very annoying. How can the software develop crazily before the hardware facilities are up to standard?
Fortunately, being choked was not a big deal. After attracting a wave of attention, no one cared about this lovely dean.
"So you really want to challenge the issue of grand unification? Does having an idea mean you already have an idea?" Zhou Liang swallowed and asked.
Qiao Ze nodded and said: "There is an idea, but it involves two bold assumptions.
The first is the interaction between the quantum field and the dark matter field;
The second is that there are dark matter particles. If these two assumptions are true, a total field equation can be obtained, and the dark quantum field equation, the corresponding quantum effect expression and the coupling term of the field can be derived. It can be understood that this is a quantum gravitational wave dark matter theory. "
This answer made Zhang Mingrui frown and said: "But the dark matter path has not yet been concluded in physics. After all, it cannot be observed. Even if the hypothesis is established, it will be difficult to be recognized by the physics community, right?"
Qiao Ze nodded and said: "Yes! But that was before the mass interval hypothesis was proved. If I can design a complete mathematical structure in this way, and then combine it with the mass gap problem, I can explore two interesting issues. , the interaction between quantum gravitational wave dark matter theory and Yang-Mills field, and dark matter gravitational wave coupling.”
"But... what's the use of this? Dark matter is still unobservable, right?" Zhou Liang thought for a long time, still a little confused.
Qiao Ze shook his head and explained patiently: "It is very useful. First, we propose the quantum gravitational wave field evolution equation and the gravitational Yang-Mills field equation. Then based on the total Lagrangian, we can theoretically calculate the dark matter coupling. terms and the density field of dark matter.
Also don’t forget that transcendental geometry uses the metric of curved space-time to describe the geometry of the universe. In transcendental geometry, our known terms include the Riemann tensor, scalar curvature, metric tensor, energy-momentum tensor and gravitational constant. Then through mathematical derivation and simulation, we can find that if dark matter exists, it will lead to a certain geometry in the universe. Specific characteristics of structural changes.
After finding these characteristics, we will build new models based on these mathematical conclusions, including new particle models. With the new model, it can be handed over to physicists for verification through indirect calculation and analysis methods.
For example, a new model can be used to guide the setting of collision parameters during high-energy particle collision experiments, and the results obtained by the corresponding parameters can be used to verify the results obtained by the equation. If the specific collision parameters can fully or partially comply with this new The mathematical structure can indirectly prove the correctness of this theory and the existence of dark matter. "
Su Mucheng did not lie to the two old men. When it came to Qiao Ze's current academic thinking, he was really patient and explained in detail, for fear that everyone would not understand.
But it's not really necessary.
Everyone's understanding of transcendent geometry is nothing more than a topic he announced to the outside world through Doudou.
Zhang Mingrui and Zhou Liang knew about this term through Yanbei University, and Yanbei University learned about it through Xu Changshu, who switched jobs to the Xilin Institute of Mathematics.
Who really knows what transcendent geometry describes?
To be honest, no one yet understands how superspiral algebra solved the Yang-Mills general solution...
At this time, Qiao Ze's last words rang in the ears of the two elderly people: "If the conclusion is correct, then we can take another small step forward from the truth of the universe."
